Hari Warisan is a new initiative to acknowledge and appreciate our cultural practitioners and activists. As custodians to our cultural heritage, they are the lifeblood that keeps our arts and heritage alive. MHF also hopes to facilitate knowledge transfers from one generation to another, and to encourage more young activists to step forward. Join us in celebrating these community assets and nurturing the future role models and cultural leaders who can motivate and inspire our next generation and beyond.
Hari Warisan 2021
For 2021, as their Digital Designer, I was tasked with producing the design graphics, illustrations & proposing the style for the event collaterals, which was held at Kampong Gelam, Malay Heritage Centre. The overall look and feel of the inaugural event were to represent grandeur and exclusivity (as it is by invitation only) while maintaining a Malay heritage/arts design.
The collaterals produced for the event included EDMs, backdrop, event brochure, sash, certificates, social media posts (Facebook, LinkedIn), supers (lower-thirds) and slide decks. These were done with together in collaboration with the wonderful team in MHF, volunteers and artists.
Hari Warisan 2022
For 2022, with the role as Art Director, I worked with another designer to recreate the EDM with the above (2021) reference. Maintaining the same logo and refreshing the designs was the task ahead of the event. Notable new designs include profile posters of participating performers, speakers, panellists and award recipients.

The Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was how to top off the standard that I set myself in 2021. As I was given full autonomy in designing the works for 2021, it was easier back then to create and produce. Working with another designer has provided the opportunity for growth for the role, as soft skills such as communication came, especially communicating ideas and concepts; setting the creative direction of the event for MHF.
Overall, to be part of the team designing these works means gave a meaningful purpose. For engaging my services for consecutive years, I hope to continue producing more and better designs for the time to come. Please support MHF wherever you can, also by this link also.
